What is PostGIS ST_Buffer Usage Guide about?

This document provides information about the ST_Buffer function in PostGIS. It notes that ST_Buffer ignores the z dimension and creates a 2D buffer. It implements the OpenGIS and SQL/MM specifications for buffering. The document warns against using ST_Buffer for radius searches and recommends ST_DWithin instead. It provides examples of buffering points, lines, and polygons with different parameters.
